This method, like mb_ereg_search_pos, appears to use byte offsets, not character offsets. This seems counter intuitive for the mb_* methods, which inherently take a "character" view of strings, as opposed to a "byte" based view. Even the mb_strpos method returns a character offset.

The following code reveals this byte-oriented behaviour:

<?php
$x
= 'abc456789'. "\u{1000}" .'abc4567890';
$re = 'ab.';
echo
'x='. $x .PHP_EOL;
echo
're='. $re .PHP_EOL;
mb_ereg_search_init( $x );
mb_internal_encoding( mb_detect_encoding( $x) );
echo
'mb_strlen='. mb_strlen( $x ) .PHP_EOL;
echo
'strlen='. strlen( $x ) .PHP_EOL;
foreach ( array(
0, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 ) as $o ) {

mb_ereg_search_setpos( $o );
echo
'Offset='. $o
.' mb_substr='. mb_substr( $x, $o )
.
' substr='. substr( $x, $o )
.
' mb_ereg_search_regs='. print_r( mb_ereg_search_regs( $re ), true )
.
PHP_EOL;
}

?>
With character offsets, we would expect offsets 11 and above to return no search result, whereas what we see is:

<?php

=abc456789ကabc4567890
re
=ab.
mb_strlen=20
